Avigail is my daughter's name. I really wanted to name her after my grandmother who was named Sandra Gail. And I loved the name Abigail but wanted something different (and Hebrew was a plus). We call her Avigail most of the time, and Avi is her nickname (pronounced Ah-vee). The only downside: when people ask what her name is, they think we say Abigail and we constantly have to correct them. It's Avigail with a V people!
